I live in Germany and have yet to see it.
The product list of an online shop lists all sorts of variants like Mint, Lemon and other specialized cleaning agents (special aircraft cleaner for flight crews O_o). I need the plain simple non anything one, right? (Why is exactly that one missing? )
Is the product acidic/basic? Maybe I can substitute it somehow. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1985520.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1985520.page GMT Re:stripping chaos black from plastic minis, how? uk you want the removeALL 220 version check out my pictures to see how the models turn out.

you will get this in hardeware stores called "obi". a litre will cost you about 6-7 €´s

Fairy Power Spray. 2 squirts, toothbrush to get it into the nooks and crannies, leave it. 15 minutes later quick brush under water. Done!
Splashes on surfaces, if you get any, is water soluble so just wipes off.
Doesn't make your mini's smell either. Works on plastics, metal and I've had no issues with GS either.

+1 for Fairy Power Spray, best product I've used to strip paint by far, gets 85% of my undercoats off too on plastics. Metals come out like new.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990618.page GMT stripping chaos black from plastic minis, how?

as for now i don´t have brit friends who would send my one^^

is it really that handy?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990647.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990647.page GMT stripping chaos black from plastic minis, how?
Some people use Dettol, others use Acetone, others use brake fluid. All of them have limitations, fumes, can't use on plastics, green stuff etc, etc.

Having persevered with most of them and swore an awful lot I found that Fairy was an absolute Godsend and has virtually no drawbacks and most important is quick!

If you're stuck and really want to try it, PM me and I am sure we can arrange something.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990652.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990652.page GMT stripping chaos black from plastic minis, how? when said ressources are depleted i will give you a call, thanks for your help mate

Simple Green can be imported to Europe but I'm not sure of the costs or any minimum order you may need to place.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990837.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990837.page GMT stripping chaos black from plastic minis, how?
Never used dettol because oven cleaner is way cheaper.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/1990930.page GMT stripping chaos black from plastic minis, how?
I repeat: brake fluid only removed the paint, not the base coat.

Unfortunately, I still have to work on the Chaos Black, it would have been cool if I wanted a black base coat. Maybe GW changed the recipe recently?

'Will try oven cleaner. Without acetone obviously. If all things fail, I'll give the pvc floor cleaner a go or think about a mail order of Fairy/removeALL. (and I'll also think about somebody who may have a use for some pvc floor cleaner).

A little side note about Simple Green: It seems there is a distributor Simple Green in Germany.

I now have a tau nurgle tank commander, BUT THE DAMN BASE COAT IS STILL STUCK ON IT!!!

I tried with gasoline and diesel. Guess what, it melted the plastic but the coat stayed on...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/2013172.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320210/2013172.page GMT
